A revolution never come with a warning

A revolution never sends you an omen

A revolution just arrived like the morning

Ring the alarm, we come to wake up the snoring


They tellin' you to never worry about the future

They tellin' you to never worry about the torture

They tellin you that you'll never see the horror

Spend it all today and we will bill you tomorrow

Three piece suits and bank accounts in Bahamas

Wall street crime will never send you to the slammer

Tell all the children in the arms of their mommas

The F-15 is a homicide bomber


TV commercials for a popping pill culture

Drug companies circling like a vulture

An Iraqi babies with a G.I. Joe father

Ten years from now is anyboby gonna bother


Yell Fire, yo, yo ,yo

Here we come, here we come

Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo

Revolution a comin'

Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo

Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo


Everyone addicted to the same nicotine

Everyone addicted to the same gasoline

Everyone addicted to a technicolour scream

Everybody trying to get their hands on same green

From the banks of the river to the banks of the greedy

All of the riches taken back by needy

We come from the country and we come from the city

You play us on the record, you can play us on the CD

All the shit you given us is fertilizer

The seeds that we planted you can brutalize them

Tell the corporation you can never globalize you

Like Peter Toss said Legalize It

Girls and boys hear the bass and treble

Rumble in the speakers and it make you wanna rebel

Throw your hands up, take it to another level

And you can never, ever, ever make a deal with the devil


Yell Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo

Here we come, here we come

Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo

Revolution a comin'

Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo

Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
